But, this one was pretty fun- Ray Allen was bombing clutch threes like he was the computer in NBA Jam. Remember how you always needed a four point lead in that game in order to win? The Bobcats could have had a three point lead with two seconds left with Gerald Wallace flying through the air doing a hundred flips, prepared to boom shakalaka, and Ray Allen would have somehow shoved him midair, picked up the loose ball, and bombed it in from his own baseline. He could not be denied.

He covered up for some truly awful performances from his front line. Perkins was handling the ball as if it were a live explosive (7 turnovers). Big Baby was 1-4 from the floor in 39 minutes. Mikki Moore had 5 fouls in 13 minutes. Mikki plays defense like he’s a groper on a subway car. An opposing player is just standing there and Mikki comes sprinting in, grabs the guy’s tits and grinds on him.

The other interesting little nugget from this game is that the Celtics are now in second place in the East. That’s great, because the Pistons are in seventh place and Iverson is hinting that he wants to retire. What a teammate. I know they’re the Pistons, with all that fake mystique, but they are a complete shitshow. If both teams stay put, that would be a tasty first round matchup for our C’s. Much better than facing Dwayne Wade, the refs, and the rest of the Miami Heat in round 1. This scenario admittedly isn’t likely considering that the Pistons are spiraling out of control and the Bulls are finally getting their act together… but a boy can dream, can’t he?”

Part of me doesn’t even want to read these athlete’s posts because of the grammar and spelling (akin to that of a 16 year old female, lol!) but at the same time, like a car wreck, I can’t look away.

Rob Brawders to me, Dave
Ahh, twitter and basketball… Both of those are on my “to don’t” list right near “get cancer” and “buy a japanese car.”

Andy’s feelings:

Yeah, twitter is just too much. I signed up for twitter out of curiosity, but then realized what it was and never looked back.

Sidenote: Did you know many athletes and celebrities on twitter actually employ ghost writers to create their entries? It’s absolutely true. Clearly, Paul Pierce does not, but Shaq and Britney Spears, for example, have people that write their entries for them. Part of me actually prefers it that way, as it’s employment for a writer and thus more likely to be grammatically correct. But generally, I think it’s unequivocal proof that twitter has jumped the shark and officially become the most retarded technology imaginable.

Rob, to Andy:
Shaq did the ticket giveaway as well- and for Pierce he could still have a ghost writer, that doesn’t mean he can’t give away tickets and tell the writer to post about it (or even maybe the other way around, if the writer suggests it for proof).
